On a sunny autumn afternoon, a suppressed sobbing sound fills the spacious and quiet room. The sixty-year-old Aunt Wu was curled up lonely on an old sofa, her hands covering her face weakly, tears streaming down her fingers.
Her eyes looked around blankly, and the once warm home full of laughter was now in shambles, and her grandson's toys and various daily clutter could be seen everywhere.
Aunt Wu lowered her head in pain, her gaze resting on a worn-out photo album at her feet. With trembling fingers, she gently flipped through the photo album, and the photos of the family that had once been full of joy came into view—it was a good time for her to live in harmony with her son's family.
Now, however, no matter how hard she tries, her son and daughter-in-law will no longer be able to return to her, and even her beloved grandson has been forced to leave her, leaving only her, the old man who has pushed the family to the brink of shattering.
"It's all because of me...... It was my momentary confusion that led to today's situation......" Aunt Wu choked up, tears bursting down the embankment again. She blamed herself deeply, stroked the cover of the photo album, and couldn't help but think of the scene of that day's quarrel - the angry expression of her daughter-in-law, the desperate eyes of her son...... All the pain stems from the "rampaging group" she joined.
"Why am I so stubborn? I made a mistake but refused to admit it, and as a result, I expelled my son's family from the house......" Aunt Wu sighed bitterly, her hands clenched weakly in front of her chest, and then slowly released, as if her heart was full of endless remorse but helpless.
Sunlight poured through the windows throughout the room, making her already old and haggard face even pale.
Looking back, Aunt Wu's life was like a heavy machine, busy with household chores day after day, with hardly any respite. As a full-time housewife, she has to work for the food and daily life of the whole family every day, prepare hearty meals, wash clothes, clean up, and take care of all the big and small affairs of the house.
Especially taking care of her young grandson made her even more exhausted. In order to let her grandson eat well, dress warmly, wash clean, and play with him, Aunt Wu is often so busy that it is difficult to find time to rest.
Although she sometimes feels physically and mentally exhausted, seeing her grandson's innocent and lovely smile always makes her heart feel a sense of happiness.
In the years that followed, Ms. Wu was always diligent and dedicated, surrounded by tedious household chores and the fatigue of caring for her grandchildren. However, whenever the family is reunited, she can always feel the warmth from the bottom of her heart, and her life is not lonely and boring.
It wasn't until her little grandson entered kindergarten that Ms. Wu was finally freed from the heavy pressure for the first time and enjoyed a leisurely and comfortable life.
Fearing that his mother would waste his time, the son decided to give him an extra $2,000 to encourage him to step out of his comfort zone and try out a variety of entertainment trips.
Ms. Wu happily accepted this filial piety, her heart was full of gratitude, and she was full of emotion for her son's unparalleled love.
The moment her son handed the cash to his mother, Ms. Wu felt an unprecedented anticipation in her heart.
Originally, Ms. Wu didn't have many special plans, and the way to spend her time was nothing more than watching TV shows and using her mobile phone at home. However, one day, her friends enthusiastically invited her to participate in the "Runaway" activity.
"What is that?" Ms. Wu was puzzled when she first heard the name, but she couldn't help but feel a little curious when she saw the elated expressions of her friends.
Friends led Ms. Wu to the meeting place, and she was amazed by the scene in front of her—many elderly people dressed in uniform sportswear, marching in an orderly manner in the park, with vigorous steps and a warm atmosphere.
Ms. Wu had never seen such a shocking picture, and the elderly in front of her, who were about her own age, seemed to glow with endless vitality, which was very different from the image in her memory.
At the kind invitation of her friends, Ms. Wu slowly stepped into the team. Although it was a little restrained and unfamiliar at first, it was quickly infected by the warm atmosphere.
She was fascinated by the team and felt like she was in a new world. The team members encouraged and encouraged each other, and you introduced the team called "Runaway Group" to Ms. Wu word by word, and warmly invited her to officially join it.
In this way, Ms. Wu was impressed by the charm of this team, paid a fee of 53 yuan to receive a set of sports equipment for the "Riot Group", and officially became a member of this big family.
With the participation of activities again and again, Ms. Wu gradually got rid of the initial nervousness and discomfort, she actively integrated into it, met many new friends, and became more cheerful and lively.
Aunt Wu, who used to be more and more lonely and lonely, is now like injecting new strength into the WeChat community, frequently and enthusiastically communicating and interacting with the partners of the "Runaway Group", and her face is always full of happy smiles.
Her physical condition and skin quality are gradually reversing and rejuvenating.
What makes Aunt Wu most proud is that whenever the team leader is not present, she will always take the initiative to take the responsibility of leading the team, leading everyone to shuttle through all corners of the city with a vigorous and firm pace.
Aunt Wu, who used to be introverted and shy, suddenly showed unprecedented confidence and calmness at this moment. However, she didn't realize that indulging in the joyful atmosphere of the "rampaging group", her attention to her family was quietly decreasing.
During a regular group "rampage" event, the team arrived at a bustling crossroads as usual. At this moment, Aunt Wu felt a sense of responsibility and conceit that she had never felt before—as the team leader, she should open the way for everyone and ensure that nothing can stop the team.
So, under the expectant gaze of the team members, Aunt Wu walked to the center of the intersection without hesitation, erected her wrinkled old body, and stretched out her arms to stop the passing vehicles.
With her haughty chin and resolute eyes, she seemed to declare her authority to everyone.
Soon after, several drivers honked their horns and shouted at Aunt Wu to get out of the way. However, Aunt Wu just glanced at them coldly, and her steps did not flinch in the slightest, but stood more firmly in place.
"Hey, what's your attitude? Get out of the way!" Finally, a car driver couldn't stand it anymore, slammed on the brakes, got out of the car angrily, and yelled at Aunt Wu.
"You have to take care of your own people! The old man is so willful and reckless, he actually occupies the traffic road and makes trouble without reason!"
Immediately afterwards, the two sides launched a fierce war of words, and the atmosphere was suffocatingly tense.
The scene was tense and chaotic for a while. When the members of the "Riot Group" saw this situation, they were also infected by the anger, and they joined Aunt Wu's camp one after another, and confronted the angry drivers-for-tat.
When this dramatic war of words became more and more intense, causing the intersection to fall into a violently blocked chaos, a well-equipped and orderly traffic police team immediately heard the news! Aunt Wu still refused to back down, stubbornly blocking the traffic with her body, causing chaos in the surrounding environment, and arousing a wave of indignation among the people.
After gaining an in-depth understanding of what happened, the traffic police mercilessly blamed Aunt Wu's behavior, believing that she deliberately broke traffic rules and caused serious social impact. In desperation, Aunt Wu could only obediently bow her head and accept the punishment, took out her wallet and paid a ticket.
Back at home, Aunt Wu sat alone in the living room and repeatedly recalled that scene. She suddenly realized that she had indeed made a mistake at that time, and was confused by the fanatical atmosphere of the "rampaging group", and made such an unreasonable act on impulse...... Aunt Wu lowered her head in pain, tears rolling in her eyes.
However, worse things are yet to come. As soon as she stepped into the house, Aunt Wu and her daughter-in-law broke out into a fierce quarrel. The daughter-in-law tried to make her realize her mistake, but Aunt Wu angrily denounced her as "talking too much" and "daring to question me as a mother-in-law".
The situation got out of control in an instant, and the daughter-in-law angrily ran away from home with her grandson and returned to her parents' home. Subsequently, the son also packed his bags in anger, and was extremely disappointed with his mother, choosing to stay away from the family and live alone in a rented house.
The originally warm and harmonious family instantly became dilapidated, leaving only a mess. The home that was once full of laughter and love is now only Aunt Wu, the culprit who destroyed everything with her own hands.
She sat blankly in the living room, looking around sadly, her mind constantly flashing back to the good old days.
Aunt Wu's experience has attracted widespread attention and heated discussions on the Internet. Many netizens expressed strong dissatisfaction with the arrogance and unreasonable behavior of the elderly when participating in square dancing, rampage and other activities, and severely condemned them.
Another netizen shared a heart-wrenching past he experienced: "My father was rushing to the hospital to rescue his relatives, but was blocked in the middle of the road by a group of elderly people who were 'walking in a riot group'...... Fortunately, in the end, a few traffic police officers barely cleared the road.
Nowadays, it can be seen that although actively participating in physical exercise and enhancing physical fitness is undoubtedly a respected and highly respected good habit, if this kind of good behavior loses the bottom line, so that it interferes with or even hinders the daily travel of others without restraint, then it will have a great negative impact on the society we live in and destroy the harmonious and orderly social environment.
Some elderly people, due to their lack of moral quality and legal awareness, often abuse their status as "elders" to make unreasonable trouble, which is undoubtedly a disgusting behavior in the eyes of the younger generation.
In the online comment section, an enthusiastic netizen patiently explained: "They always ask for priority as an elderly person, and when they encounter opposition, they are even more justified and stubborn."
No wonder some netizens jokingly call them 'good people getting old', these people are simply typical representatives of double standards!".
It is true that proper physical activity on the streets for older people is indeed positive for physical and mental health. However, if personal desires are put above the public interest, or even dangerous, offensive and unjustified behavior, then such behavior is seriously deviating from the original purpose of physical exercise.
Positive behavior, which was widely recognized by people, has become the target of criticism because of the unreasonable behavior of some people.
Society is built by the broad masses of people with inclusive love, and no group can be above the rules. As long as the elderly can consciously abide by the traffic order, respect the rights and interests of others, and maintain a friendly and modest attitude, they will be able to win the understanding and support of the masses.
However, if blindly being arrogant and unreasonable, and being self-serving, will only make this already highly regarded activity bear the infamy of "endangering society", then will it not be an enemy of the whole society?
